The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission reports that discrimination claims filed with the Commission last year rose to the highest in the agency’s 44-year history. A record 95,402 claims were filed during the year, the EEOC said, up 15 percent from 2007. According to the EEOC, more than 25 percent of claims filed contained an allegation of age discrimination while more than 34 percent of the filings included complaints of retaliation.
As acting agency Chairman Stuart Ishimaru noted, “it is clear that employment discrimination remains a persistent problem.”
